    Re: Russell Westbrook.....

    You don't get the MVP for effort, you should get it for being the most valuable player. Dwight Howard was, by far, the most valuable player in the NBA. If you get MVP because of speech and character, that just shows me that the MVP is a joke award.

      Dude... I agree with you Rose got the MVP award because of popularity! Gosh your acting like Derrick Rose averaged 10 Points and 3 Assist

The problem with just looking at numbers is that someone like LeBron should win EVERY year if you base it off of numbers. Yea D. Rose only had 7 assists but he scored more too. The MVP award is a combination of numbers and wins courtesy of said player.

        When Steve Nash won his 1st MVP in 04-05, he averaged 15.5 pts and 11.5 asts. Do that math and he accounted for roughly 39 points.

        Steve Nash's 2nd MVP in 05-06: 18.8 pts and 11.5 assists...accounted for roughly 42 points.

        When AI won it in 00-01: 31.1 pts and 4.6 assists...accounted for 40 points

        D. Rose's MVP year: 25 points and 7.7 asts and he also accounted for roughly 39 points.

        So that's the first part of the MVP equation. The 2nd part is wins. The Bulls had 62 wins that year and had the best record in the league. At the beginning of the year, NO ONE in the league was expecting that looking at the Bulls roster. The Bulls overachieved that year and it was all because of D. Rose. He alone is probably responsible for 15-17 wins. Without him, the Bulls are a 42-45 win ballclub. That cannot be said for Westbrook. Why? Because he has Durant. Westbrook may account for 7-10 wins.

        Russell Westbrook is a DAMN good player but he will ALWAYS be in Durant's shadow and that will hurt him. He will never win a MVP award as long as he plays with Durant. His situation with Durant is similar to Pippen's with MJ. Damn good player that just happened to be on the team with a better player.
        Thank You !!!

          I'll abstain from giving my opinion on whether or not D-Rose was the MVP since I'm a Bulls fan, but I disagree with your opinion that Howard should have won it. I understand that you have to support your guy since you're a Magic fan, but c'mon.

          As for the OP's question, I think Rose and Westbrook being even is understandable. Rose is asked to do more than Westbrook, but I think Westbrook would do pretty well in Rose's role. However, his efficiency ratings would be lower.

          I give Rose the slight edge for that reason but the difference is small.

            I like and respect westbrook but his rating should be like 89, speed,durability,med range, and defense are the only things he should be high in... Idk why 2k overrated him like they did, that's crazy.......

Rose has way more body control on the attack, way more acrobatic, his med range is better too he shoots better percentage on med range yr in n yr out that Westbrook...

              3 point range no question rose got him beat.
              Westbrook may be a better defender but then again he may not be he just LOOKS way more enthused and passionate, he's more expressive...

              If y'all were starting a team who would u pick of the 2?? All 30 gm's would laugh at that question
              blah blah yo his numbers are just as good as Dwade and rose so stop acting like DRose is worlds a part get real bruh stop hating.

                KG/Allen/Pierce; LeBron/Wade/Bosh; Kobe/Howard/Nash/Gasol; all through free-agency.

                Pippen and Jordan were both drafted to the Bulls, while Rodman joined later, but the Bulls had already won 3 championships by that time.

                Didnt kg and allen get traded? Gasol, nash, howard and kobe were all traded? Forgot kobe was traded from philly?

                    What are you talking about?

                    KG and Allen were acquired to the Celtics via trade. They traded away a ton of young talent to get that done, including #5 pick in draft.

                    Gasol and Howard went to LAL via trade. Nash not, but the rest were.

                    If you want the most recent big 3 via draft, you probably have to go to the Spurs ... Duncan, Ginobili, Parker.

                    However, none of those are like the Heat, who formed their joke of a union because of a free agent coup to Miami.

                        Dwight averaged 23 and 14, an actual DOUBLE DOUBLE. Defensive player of the year, all NBA first team, all defensive first team and he got his team to the playoffs just like Rose did.. You take Rose away from Chicago and Howard away from Orlando and tell me which team does better...?

                        Howard was EASILY more VALUABLE than Rose was that year and he even had better numbers.. There is no reason that man should not have won MVP

                          The problem with your Nash equation is that the Suns were nothing without him.. The Bulls are still a good team without Rose.. That's the most important part, that's how you find VALUE

                          Like I said Rose had 7 assists and 3 turnovers and he averaged LESS rebounds than Nash did all while playing more minutes!

                          Nash also averaged a double double, which many of you don't seem to think is important but if you're supposed to be the top PG in the league you should be damn good at setting up your teammates..

                              The MVP never is given to the player with the most value to his team; if that's the case, Howard and LeBron should have had all of them by now it seems...

                              Anyways, Rose is better than Westbrook. Not sure how Rose'll be after his rehab, but before that, for sure. Rose is a better scorer, and unlike Westbrook, he doesn't have Kevin Durant to draw away defensive attention, or James Harden. Who's the defense going to fear on the Bulls...Luol Deng? Come on. Rose is a much better passer, especially in the drive-and-dish game...what is Westbrook better at? Maybe not even defense, since Rose only surrendered 0.77 points-per-possession last season, and don't make excuses it was for Chicago's great interior D that got him that number, because he only allowed 0.75 PPP in isolation plays,

                                Westbrook plays with Durant. That alone gets him great looks and driving lanes because there's no chance in hell that someone is going to give Durant an open look.
